Kingdom for All (Meyer)

Jesus had promised His disciples that He would send them another Helper in the Holy Spirit who would comfort, counsel, guide and advocate for them in fulfilling the Great Commission that He had given to them. At Pentecost Jesus fulfills His promise when the disciples receive the power of the Holy Spirit and immediately take to the streets to spread the news about Jesus. We are reminded this week that Jesus has made His Kingdom accessible to all people. Peter says that any who are far off are wel...

Kingdom Values All Life (Johnson)

The Roman Empire valued life, as long as that life helped in them furthering their agenda in the world. In Acts 16 we see Paul and Silas in prison for their faith and they decide it is a good time to sing worship songs to God. As they are singing God miraculously breaks them free, but as they are leaving, they see the Roman guard ready to take his own life for letting them escape. Paul and Silas could have run but instead they stopped the man, valued his life and led this man (and his whole hous...

Restful Parenting Part 4: Intentionally Train

Kingdom Family (Meyer)

How we view the family relationship is one of the places that Christianity shines the brightest and yet, also runs most counter to our culture. We live in a “What can I get out of it?” culture. We live in a “How am I going to benefit?” culture. People believe “It’s all for me! It’s all centered in me! It’s all about me!” But for Christians, our lives are lived for others...centered-in and all-about others! And so in the Christian family, we’re not looking for a spouse that “completes” us, we’re ...

Kingdom Hospitality (Johnson)

Kingdom Hospitality (Phillips)

During the time of the early church, it was expected to care for the poor of your own family or tribe, but Christians took it to a whole new level. They were giving help & hospitality even to people of other races, people of other religions, and to the poor & outcast of society. Christians went against the values of society that said these people deserved what they were getting in life as they sought to love and alleviate the suffering from their lives. Acts 4 stands as a beautiful examp...

Restful Parenting Part 2: Unified Leadership

Kingdom Attitudes (Johnson)

The culture of the early church was a culture that was founded on the values of shame and honor. Vengeance was expected when someone did you harm and yet the early Church operated from a different set of Kingdom Attitudes. They taught that forgiveness was greater than retaliation and love is greater than hate. This week we look at the example of Barnabas who advocated for Saul to be part of the Christian leadership. Even though Saul had ravaged the church, imprisoned families, and stood by as St...
